Sony dropping physical media is a big mistake.
Still have my original D2 install disk, no more disks is a big risk for Sony in my opinion.
No disk drive in PS6? Can’t see as many purchasing it. PS5 is also my occasional Blu Ray Player, now what, just look at my disk collection of Games & Vids with nothing to plug them in to on my New PS6?
Sony, you need to give Players the ability to make their own USB Drive installable content if you’re going down this route or even make your own thumb drives for such. Either way, abandoning physical media and not permitting purchasers to make their own installable USB/Blu Ray disks is just shooting yourselves in both feet….twice!

The gaming industry is speeding like a bat out of hell right into a crash. And it’s coming far sooner than later.

I'm so glad I have a physical archive... And soon they will start killing accounts... first it will be inactivity... next they'll require an active subscription.... Pay or we delete everything... Straight up a hostile hostage situation with Sony holding the gun

10 RepliesI think a lot of people who harp on owning physical media vastly underestimate how many people no longer buy it and won't be impacted by this change at all, and I know they vastly overestimate the ill effects. I've been PC and driveless-PS5 based since the PS5 came out. I've not lost access to one game I purchased, all of which were digital only, or missed out on sales. I don't need my new console to play my old games because I still have the old console that runs them, and they work just fine. When they don't, I'll fix or replace them, both of which will be cheaper than buying the PS6, which I'm also probably skipping, but only because I just primarily only use PC now. It sucks for the guys that like to take pictures of their shelves, but otherwise, it's not as scary as people make it out to be. It's all the potential boogeymen that have never come to pass that people use to fearmonger.

1 ReplyNot a fan of the decision, but also have to remember that d2 disk is worthless. all is serves is a licence check. Same with nearly any modern game, i cant think of any game that runs off disk anymore.

4 RepliesWhy do people keep talking Sony stuff in these forums? Sony doesn't come here, and bungo's got no influence. Wrong place.

1 ReplyJust think...if we had physical copies of destiny... Each expansion as a disk including the seasons... Even if it was released only after the next expansion started to account for updates and patches.... We could be playing the entirety of destiny today

I just plan on playing retro games when it comes to it. Destiny is my last live service game, won't be upping my ps plus when it expires. I have enough old games to last a lifetime. The whole game industry has gone to -blam!-.

While I agree, what do you think complaining about it here will accomplish? Sony doesn't check these forums at all. And with how much drama is supposedly happening between Bungie and Sony, I can't imagine Bungie cares enough to report this to Sony.

2 RepliesI don't see the point buying a PS6 if I cant use my discs. 🤷♂️

Xbox and PlayStation will drop physical media. PC already is basically already fully digital. If you don’t buy the PS6, you won’t be buying a competitor that sells physical other than Nintendo, but they’re kinda their own thing anyway.

What people don't realize is that new blu rays are superior to streaming, at least with regards to sound fidelity. In most cases, you get much better sound via blu ray disc than you get via streaming. The video is technically better on blu ray, too, but its not a huge difference. All this to say... It sucks they are dropping the blu ray player.

Agree! What if your account gets banned? Even in error? You lose acesss to your digital library. No thanks, I perfer hard copies.

2 RepliesThey're still mad over Betamax.

3 RepliesThey're facing a pretty substantial backlash right now because of such questionable moves though, so they might reverse it after all.

Playstation needs an emergency intervention. Leadership needs changing asap

This is kind of a normal way to move toward future. We dont watch VHS movies anymore either, you watch Netflix. But I understand the issue, you buy with real money so you are expected to own, but in this case it is not likely so, because you kinda rent the games now. See what happened with Destiny 2? We purchased all the games and no more future content and Destiny is gonna be shut down some day... See that youtube video about Bezos saying in the future gamers use cloud based systems to rent gamingpower, no more PC aka PERSONAL COMPUTER. Pay subsriction from everything and own NOTHING! Think abou that -blam!-... Big corporation greed, people not owning anything, the gap between the rich and the poor - you have no right to own anything, just pay rent.
